Oh, right! I forgot about 3D printing.

Sorry if I sound stupid but still, what about the actual board (pcb?)? I mean, yeah, I guess you can get them in custom shapes as well, but sounds too advanced.

Another thing I'm failing to understand the possibilities of is about the firmware. What can different?

You can either design your own PCB or handwire. I handwire because it's cheaper, and I don't have to order min 5 pieces and have extra lying around after.

Look up QMK, you can do a million different things with the firmware.
